IBM debuted the real quantum computer with
50 qubits at 2018CES. Though it looks like a steampunk chandelier, it indicates
that IBM will take a pivotal position in the field of artificial intelligence. At least for now, you can play the first game,
Quatum Battleships, embedded on a real quantum computer.

As the cooling system for the quantum computer
was not shown on this exhibition, you cannot see how it runs. But you can see the
chip installed inside the bottom metal shield, which can run normally only
under silent, super low temperature, electric-free and magnetic-free environment.
The temperature must be maintained at 10 mK (-273.14℃). It almost
reaches the absolute zero degree.

The whole system covers 105 square feet (10
m2) area to run normally. You can also hear a special sound generated by the
system. IBM only showed the core part of the system at the exhibition.

Quantum computer can complete some tasks
which is impossible for traditional computers. IBM claimed that they have
deployed a cloud-based quantum computer for nearly 60,000 users to perform 17
million experiments. And IBM is also exploring the commercial uses of quantum
computers and has developed the business value of quantum computers with a host
of industry partners, including finance, new material research and development,
automotive manufacturing, and chemical industry.
